Growing up gay is challenging enough but for teens who are gay AND come from closed-minded Christian families, the pain and suffering they go through is unimaginable.

Lance Bass and former Real World star Mike C. Manning are shedding light on an unthinkable practice that some parents put their kids through once they find out they are gay.

Their new documentary Kidnapped for Christ follows those enrolled in Escuela Carib, a Christian behavioral modification program that uses corporal punishment in order to rid kids of their homosexuality.

The first official trailer for this upcoming Showtime documentary was released today and we cannot recommend watching it enough.

That this is happening to young people, in this year and in this world is just mind blowing.

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
